Status report
Danforth, a forward, sustained an upper-body injury in the first period of a 6-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday. He did not return to the game, leaving his status for the game in New York in question. … Foudy would likely make his season debut if Danforth is unable to play and the Blue Jackets don't recall another forward to take his place. … Merzlikins started in net Saturday. With the back-to-back, it's likely Tarasov gets the start against the Rangers. … Kravtsov will play for the first time since Oct. 11, the Rangers' season opener, when he sustained an upper-body injury in the first period of a 3-1 win against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
